Abstract
Behset's syndrome is a multisystem disorder with unknown etiology. Clinical ly it is mostly seen as a systemic vasculitis; almost 30% of the patients h ave vascular involvements, and most of these are venous thrombosis and arte rial aneurysms. Obstructions of the femoral and tibial arteries have also b een reported in the literature. The authors present here a patient with Beh cet's syndrome who had pseudoaneurysms on both femoral arteries after aorto bifemoral bypass surgery.
